The Scott Pilgrim vs. The World event continues in the tradition of ultra cool Fantastic Fest-branded screenings outside of the actual festival, including —
Star Trek — they held the first ever public screening of the new Star Trek film. The audience was lured to the theater by being told that they’d see a 35mm print of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn and after the first 5 minutes, the print broke down. A man in a trench coat walked out in front of the theater with print cans. He revealed himself to be Leonard Nimoy and asked the theater if they’d like to be the first audience in the world to see J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek.
Iron Man 2 — Robert Downey Jr. and Jon Favreau made a surprise visit to the Alamo Drafthouse for the first public screening of Iron Man 2. Favreau also DJ’d at the after party next door to the theater.
